Your Next Stamp Birthday Blog Hop

Well, hey everyone--welcome to Your Next Stamps's 2nd Birthday Blog Hop! We are so happy you are here celebrating with us and our wonderful guest designers (yep, that would be me--I'm so excited to have been asked to join in the fun!). If you have just stumbled across my blog and want to join in all the fun and games, you can go to the start at Peggy's blog HERE. If you have been hopping along and are arriving from Jen's blog HERE then you are right on track!

Let's get this party started! I made two cards--one with a little something old and one with a little something NEW! This first one uses this sweet stamp called Ellie Loves Music. It was perfect for this sketch from Verve that I found. I think this card would be a perfect little notecard for a music teacher, don't ya'll?

Ok, and this next one has a little something NEW that ya'll will want to get your hands on asap! Just look at that cutie patootie! She's Hula Hoop Fhiona and she comes with a couple of sentiments, but I just HAD to use "Hoopy Birthday" for this card. Wouldn't it also make the cutest tag to attach to a hula hoop for a little "tween's" birthday!? So fun!

What is a birthday party with out games and some AMAZING prizes? Well we have a fun little puzzle for you to solve along the hop and when you do, you will be entered into the draw for one of TWO amazing YNS prizes! Not everyone has a puzzle piece so you need to pay attention, click on the puzzle pieces, and follow the directions as you find them along the way. [3rd party cookies must be enabled to do the puzzle] When you are done put them all together at the end of the hop for your chance to win! You have until Monday, August 15th at Midnight EST. Here's a peek at the prizes:

AND here's my PUZZLE PIECE:

There are also lots of amazing deals right now in the YNS store to celebrate and you don't need any code!

Ok, your next stop on the hop is Wendy's blog! Head on over there and see what cute stuff she's come up with for this very special celebration! Good luck and happy hopping!

SUSIE Q-TIP: Cluster buttons and bling together as an embellishment to set off a sentiment like I did on the Hula Hoop Fhiona. And no, not all buttons HAVE to have a ribbon or twine tied through them.

***I'll be back a little later with the supply list, but you will find the stamp names in the body of my post above.

I love Hula Hoop Fhiona! So adorable! When I was a kid, I was a hula hoop maniac. I used to just stand there at my grandparents' house and hoop, and my cousins would stand there and count. Haha. Simpler times.

I also love your tip to cluster the buttons and bling. I never would've thought of that.
